Easter Island Province

Hanga Roa extends along the western coast of Easter Island, containing most administrative buildings, commercial establishments, and residential areas of the province.

The settlement grew from a small village in the 1800s to become the main population center after Chile annexed Easter Island in 1888.

The settlement maintains the Rapanui culture through traditional ceremonies at Tahai ceremonial center and hosts educational programs at the anthropological museum.

The Mataveri International Airport, situated at the southern edge of Hanga Roa, provides the only air connection between Easter Island and continental Chile.

The town borders the Rapa Nui National Park, where visitors can observe numerous archaeological sites and traditional ceremonial grounds from different periods.
